A:
It sounds like you may have a personal injury claim against the casino. Here are some steps you can take to seek compensation for your medical expenses and other damages:
Seek immediate medical attention. If you haven't already done so, see a doctor to get treatment for your fractured patella. This will help ensure that you get the care you need and will document your injuries for your personal injury claim.
Gather evidence of the accident. This includes taking pictures of the water on the floor where you fell, your wet pants, and any other visible injuries you may have. You should also keep copies of your medical records and bills.
Report the accident to the casino. This will help establish that the casino was aware of the hazard that caused your fall. You can file a report with the casino's security department or guest services.
Be prepared to explain how the casino's negligence caused your fall. This could include showing that the casino knew about the water on the floor and failed to take steps to clean it up or warn guests about the hazard.
